/qst/ Thread Archive

Welcome to the /qst/ archive. Note: Please DO NOT SCRAPE THE ARCHIVES as my bandwidth is finite.

2016-04-27: Oh Christ, this is a terrible idea.

Look, do me a favor: If you don't like /qst/, don't just mindlessly downvote every entry or archive shitposts. I'm only doing this to ensure QMs don't lose anything in the transition, if a transition even occurs. Take it up with 4chan moderation, don't take it out on me. Please? :(

2016-05-23: Searching tags or titles/descriptions now includes results from both /tg/ and /qst/ archives, which should make it easier for QMs to maintain continuity between boards.

You are a fighter pilot of the 442nd Night Fighter Squadron, rated for the P-61A Black Widow, and as suits the death-dealer of the dark skies, you're currently squelching about in waterlogged jeans and no shirt, kneeling by a rotary phone to listen into a conversation.

The aliens launch a night-time commando raid on the Witches' base, and we fight to get the girls to their Striker units as the aliens use stun prods to try to capture them alive. This must be what being on the other end of an X-COM raid is like.

We strike our commanding officer when she gives us orders we don't like, then charge into the alien transport ship. We just barely survive an encounter with an alien, and the other witches all seem to be safe.

We distribute everyone's gifts as Toga-Claus, somewhat normalize relations with Trude, have a chat with Sakamoto, show off our singing to Minna, and Sanya starts channeling alien gods/Martian radio chatter.

We're nearly kicked out of the 501st, bounce Minna in front of Patton, and have a talk with Sakamoto that forces us to think about our emotions too hard. Oh, and we save Chuck Yeager's ass from a beating.

We turn on our radar full power, drawing all of the Martians towards us. We then hit the deck and activate War Emergency Power as we flip upside down and strafe the Martian assault boats closing on the downed Witch.

"So according to you Sean, we've got Toto the Dog-Witch riding our wing, we took off from an aircraft carrier with a land-based twin-boom fighter and we should land on a runway, with floats. What's next, man? We're fighting little green men?"

We sortie out with some of the Witches to the convergence point of the Martian radar beams. Boss fight ensues, and our payload proves insufficient, leaving us with an unpalatable choice between the mission and one of the Witches.

WE ARE BUTLER. 100% PURE DAPPER AND SWAG. Meet Shinku's sisters. Set Kraus up. Rendezvous with Yuki in the library. She helps us pick a reading list. Picnic with the girls. Sakura and Lucchinni get some GummyBEARS.

"Amplified through the very microphones being rammed into their tender orfices. The pumping of blood through pain-wracked bodies rapidly BUMBUMBUMBUMPING through the monitor speakers as the screams become gutteral and eerily organic, transmitted through the vibrations of the MP's interior tissues..."

You are a P-61 Black Widow Pilot of the 501st Joint Fighter Squadron, and you're squaring off with a Martian fighter-craft that's hot to trot. The range is closing rapidly, and soon you'll have to make the merge.

We start a quest that seems to be originally a pick your choices picture. We switch characters three times before we come to a showdown between Leet, the main character for now, against three novice? wizards. It ends in shenanigans.

Maria of House Antioch, bearer of the raven seal and a couple other titles learns that even smartasses are often more kind and loyal than you might expect. Also featuring twins, a vanishing QM and lots of speculah.

You are the chosen ones of the German Army. You shall seek combat and train yourselves to endure any manner of test. To you, battle shall be the fulfillment. - 1st Commandant of the German Fallschirmjägers

"We have to begin a new thinking, I am on the Russian side, and therefore I would like to live with the Russians.... I am happy now to be a Russian prisoner. I know that all I have done is wrong and I have now only one wish. That is to fly with the Russian Air Force." - Hermann Graf, Luftwaffe Flying Ace

It was the largest-calibre rifled weapon ever used in combat, the heaviest mobile artillery piece ever built in terms of overall weight, and fired the heaviest shells of any artillery piece. - Description of the Schwerer Gustav 80cm Railway gun

"I've seen many men die right in front of me - so many in fact that I've become almost hardened to it. Having seen the worst that human beings can do to each other, the results of torture, mutilation and seeing someone blown to pieces by a bomb, you develop a kind of shell. But you had to. You had to. Otherwise we would never have won." - Christopher Lee

The prisoner, having reached the depth of his depression, gradually reawakens to the life around him. He licks himself and his wounded pride, opens his eyes, and finds that far away on the horizon there is still a ray of sunlight left. - P.H. Newman

“A man must know his destiny… if he does not recognize it, then he is lost. By this I mean, once, twice, or at the very most, three times, fate will reach out and tap a man on the shoulder… if he has the imagination, he will turn around and fate will point out to him what fork in the road he should take, if he has the guts, he will take it.” - George S. Patton, General

"Good night, then - sleep to gather strength for the morning. For the morning will come. Brightly will it shine on the brave and true, kindly on all who suffer for the cause, glorious upon the tombs of heroes. Thus will shine the dawn." - Winston Churchill
